Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed French doors and extended Juliet balcony to the front roof slope upon the character and appearance of the host dwelling, a non-designated heritage asset; and whether the scheme would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Weymouth Town Centre Conservation Area

What decided it

The proposed French doors and extended Juliet balcony would create additional three-dimensional form projecting from the roof plane that would be alien to the character of the historic terrace and would fail to preserve the character and appearance of the Conservation Area.
